encoding

Hi! Been running into this problem for the past few days after noticing it on my last video, and I'm really stumped. When I record, OBS tells me that its having an encoding overload, but it just doesn't seem to be the case... the CPU (when looking in task manager) doesn't go over 25% overall...

Hello All,
I've run into an odd issue that I've been smacking my head against for awhile now and can't seem to figure out.
I built this PC for streaming in January and have had no problems streaming at 1080p60fps with Lanconz scaling and a 6000 bitrate until the past few weeks since version...

I'm curious how I should set up my settings to stream at. I'll attach my pc specs. I'm using a 2560x1440 144hz monitor as the main monitor and the one I stream. I do however keep seeing frame loss for both rendering and encoding lag. Is the issue that my OBS is trying to stream at 2560 or...

Hello.
I have a streaming PC and a gaming PC. I've got a i7 6700k for the streaming PC and a GTX 1080. It also has a 4K60 Pro.
The issue/bug that I'm experiening is "Encoding overloaded! Consider turing down video settings or use a faster preset." this happens when I get a notification from...

Hi,
I cannot seem to find a way to enable VAAPI encoding for recording (rather than streaming where I can indeed select VAAPI after building the RC2). Is this possible or am I misunderstanding something?
Thank you in advance!

Im trying to locally record Rainbow 6 Siege with indistinguishable quality with multiple audio tracks. Im basically trying to figure out what settings to do in advance to get around the same framerate that I get with indist.. so I can use multiple audio tracks.

Hello everyone,
I built this new PC to transition to streaming PC games. When streaming console on this PC it streams at 1080/60 at 6k bitrate fine. But during my stream, I switched to R6 as I have played it off stream for a long time due to not being able to stream it. After finally building a...

I am trying to set up my old pc as an encoding pc but the GPU in there (the quadro 2000) does not have the built in encoder. The main problem is that the cpu in that pc is too weak to really encode a stream without dropping fames when something happens on the PC. I was wondering if there was a...

Hey, it seams that every time i try to record h264 via my GPU, it doesn't work, i get an error messageevery time but when i record via my CPU, Work Perfectly...
I want to start recording with my GPU because I play mostly cpu intensive games so if i record with my GPU, I could crank some render...

I have just started using OBS, and I have found that the first few minutes of gameplay I record in a session (anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes) will be super laggy (with perfect audio), but then after that it seems to fix itself and it records in perfect 1080p at 60fps throughout the rest of the...

The Sole purpose of my pc is to stream console games at 1080p 60fps at the slow preset 6000 bit rate
this processor should be capable of handling that but it cant even handle 720p 60fps on medium which my i7 can do so i am at a loss :(
i appreciate any help that anyone can bring it is very much...

Hello everyone
I've long had this particular issue, occasionally attempting to try to fix it by tinkering with settings but still no luck in being completely rid of it.
Whenever I record just about any game, even using a scene with only a single game as a source, no webcam or anything else, I...

Recent i saw some video lags 1-2 sec while editing my FarCry 5 videos. It was not happening earlier and i did not change any settings in obs. Recently i looking at the last logs and saw that there were some encoding lags >0.0%. There were some rendering lags but they were 0.0%. I will attach the...

Automatically convert your videos using ffmpeg when they're finished recording. Specify custom flags and renaming with regular expressions. Uses the ffmpeg version found in the system path.
This was originally intended to be a few lines of code but it turned into something a bit more...

Hi all!
I've been having issues on and off for a while with my stream regarding encoding or dropped FPS, but brushed them off because I had a heap of old junk on my PC - I've done a full Factory reset on the whole system, reinstalled everything from scratch, and still seem to be having issues...
